Li Jinghu was born in 1972 in Dongguan, Guangdong, where he currently lives and works. Li Jinghu works primarily with sculpture and installation, which presents an intertwining and ongoing personal ‘historiography’ of a landscape in flux – his poetically charged work frequently utilize humble materials gathered from his everyday locale. His practice seeks to both capture and transcend the line between collectivity and personal forms of expression, through a constant rumination on society, industry, and capitalism.
